You know look for good pitch to hit. So it's just you know after that I mean after you first about -- pretty much just another another guy and Carolina so you know my job it's that. You know get a good pitch to hit and and try to get on base anyway candidate -- that the gas -- I mean. In the bottom line is that you get to be up. More than anybody else -- this as a baseball player that's less frequently -- Yeah I mean it's fun yet but it's fun you know. -- -- six at bats last night so you know you don't you know and get sick at bats two off deal but because guys bonding between the baton. Just fortunate to get them in -- but. Yeah I mean that you in the office is something I'll always done and you know it's a spot that -- comfortable and in you know it's its work and so far.

Jerry Remy less socially popular and sailors what a drag on like -- was -- guys that you looked at today as the guy wannabe. IE I emulated a lot of different guys -- -- -- come and it was always my favorite player at the time. And -- will Clark at one point so liked him. Or number 291 year because I like rusty Greer. Com. Yet you know I I switched all the time. Senior PG apparently in obviously. Every kid my age did. But you guys just trying to not fair player -- I never like looked at who you know in the office on -- -- this. Whoever -- not fair player it's time it's it's kind of electric did try to be like do you were rangers' Derek yeah how big range guy and that's -- mentioned will Clark and rusty Greer. And the reason -- like restaurants so much sees he's an. He's ball player you know monument that went to a he Rogers for regain and he threw an interesting period made a couple of time plays out of -- -- perfect games so he can't he can't climb to top my list that point. Now it's like will Clark like Raphael Palmeiro like. Yeah I got an analyst with old Rangers. It was the so who was the lead off to its teams in -- So all so for some reason Allison Gary pettis -- tackled it. These are with the win you obviously when you're leaving -- you're you're.
